“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Off to MLA

Two panels and some publisher meetings. This week I wrote three essays, two papers and two book reports. On the trip I have one thing to add to Hyperobjects then that's away. And I had an idea for chapter 2 of Realist Magic. Lunch with Ian Bogost tomorrow. Meeting a Ph.D student on Friday morning. Coffee with a Heideggerian in the afternoon. It will be good I feel--the first time ever I think I've felt reasonable about going.

"Coffee with a Heideggerian in the afternoon."

Isn't that a Don DeLillo story?
